Beautiful step by step

Chapter 70

Yan Ji Xiaomi is completely popular in the capital.

Instruct the Yan family to pack the millet essence, and Wei Wei will send it to the capital once every [-] bags are packed.Two days after the official station delivered the samples and her letter to the capital, the first batch of millet appeared in Weiji Mipu in the west of the city.

In Wei Wei's letter to Wei's mother, she wrote down the entire marketing plan in detail.The most important part is to raise the price to a level that makes everyone speechless, but not unaffordable.

At the beginning, after watching Wei's mother, she felt that this was too deceitful, but it is impossible for her not to support her daughter's idea.According to what Wei Wei said, she ordered the rice shop clerk to stack the kraft paper bags into a granary shape and place them in the most conspicuous position in the store.

The rice of Da Viet is usually packed in sacks. Wei Wei’s simple packaging in paper bags is simple compared to the over-packaged hard-printed cardboard boxes of later generations, but it is definitely synonymous with high-end in the current unpackaged era.

Most people who come to buy rice have to ask, and when they know the price, they curl their lips and walk away.Occasionally there are customers who are not very friendly, and even swear that they are too dark.

After doing business for a long time, he has never seen anyone in the shopkeeper, so he didn't take it to heart at all.What he was worried about was the sales of these rice. Regardless of whether the outer layer of paper was shipped from the northwest, this batch of goods did not cost less.Once it is unsalable, it will become old rice after the next year, and it will really not be sold.

Mother Wei didn't mind at all. Although she wasn't very rich, she could afford such a small loss.There is no way to do business without failure. She can't stop her daughter too much if she is interested.It is naturally best to make money, and pay tuition fees if you lose money.Although Wei's mother thinks her daughter's idea is good, she has already prepared for the worst, and if it doesn't work, she can subsidize some money to comfort her.

Anyway, she is not short of money, so she took it out to make her daughter happy.

Wei's mother thought very arrogantly, and then ordered the shopkeeper domineeringly: "Just sell it like this."

She is not allowed to surrender a penny!

Several hours passed, everyone who came to the rice store would ask about Xiaomi, but very few people bought it.Although Wei's mother was full of confidence, the shopkeeper scratched her head in worry.The few hairs on the top of the head, which were already sparse, were scratched bald by him.The lady shopkeeper couldn't see it, and took a picture of his claws on the hair.The shopkeeper was upset for a while, and when he was about to stare, a new customer came to the door.

Although the visitor was dressed as a servant, but seeing the word "Willow" embroidered on his chest, the shopkeeper still greeted him personally.

The person who came was the servant of the Liu family, and he was ordered by his wife to buy rice.Others' families were short of money, but the Liu family really didn't lack that money, and the servant bought a hundred bags in one go.One hundred kraft paper bags were neatly stacked on the car, which attracted the attention of passers-by.The signboard of Liuji Wine House on the carriage is even more attractive. People who originally thought that a little rice is so expensive have changed their minds. They can't afford large batches, but they can buy a small bag and go back to try something new.

The price Wei Wei ordered was very reasonable, about five times the price of ordinary rice.In the peaceful and prosperous days of Da Viet, the price of rice was not high, even five times is not a very high figure.Although the people felt that it was not worth it, but with the Liu family taking it with them, they all wanted to taste what the rice used by the Wenquxing family was like, so they untied their purses with distress.

The rumors spread from ten to ten, and millet, which was originally unsalable, suddenly became popular after the Liu family's family members left.

On the second day, Chu San, the new official of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, came and wrapped up all the remaining rice.In this way, when I bought rice and went back to make porridge that day, I found that the few repeat customers who had a different taste than white rice porridge all rushed to nothing.

The price of Yanji millet is not cheap. Although the taste is fresher and the porridge produced is richer, the daunting price is enough for most ordinary people to curb their desire.

Seeing that this trend was about to go down, dignitaries in the capital gave gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival.First, the Liu family was uncharacteristically, and the Wufu Linmen color pot rarely used chestnut rice.Every grain of rice is very successful, and the color of yellow and clear is festive.Not only that, but Liu Jijiu, which is very literary, said that the rice grains are small and round, which symbolizes the prosperity of the family and the prosperity of the family. The people who received it for a while had an impression of the rice.

Just as everyone was planning to add some chestnut rice porridge to try something new, the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony in Zhenbeihou's Mansion came.Among the usual treasures of gold and silver, two exquisite kraft paper bags are particularly eye-catching.Take it apart and see that it is chestnut rice.The rich family first received the grain as a gift, and out of curiosity, they used the rice to cook porridge.

After the porridge is out of the pot, the taste...

No, chestnut rice doesn't taste like this!

The people who came to their senses were told that the fine breed specially selected by the Northwest at this time was called Xiaomi.

This pile of pampered and wealthy people realized that what we ate was millet, which was delicious and the porridge made from it was extraordinarily fragrant.This kind of rice is expensive and tastes good. Even the imperial physician said that eating whole grains can keep you healthy.

Who doesn't want to be different, and who doesn't pay attention to health.

Yan Ji Xiaomi became popular all of a sudden, and these people were quick to inquire about things.It's easy for them to know that this kind of millet, which is packed in elegant hard paper, is exclusively sold by Chengxi Weiji Mipu.Because the price was too expensive, no one cared about it until it was discovered by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and bought it as a gift for everyone.

All of a sudden, each family went to Weiji rice shop to buy, but learned that the rice was limited, the first batch had already been rounded up by the Hou's house, and the next batch had to wait for a few days.

Limited?

This must be something good!
People’s hearts are like this, the more you can’t get something, the more you think it must be a good thing.Not to mention that these people have already tasted it and decided that it is a good thing.

Buy, wait to buy, line up to buy even more.

Following the second batch of Yan Ji Xiaomi who came here, they were snatched up by the high-ranking households in the west of the city, and Yan Ji Xiaomi went from the west of the city to the east of the city.

It's nothing if a Liuji restaurant likes to use it, but if so many dignitaries like to use it, it must be a good thing.No wonder people sell expensive, can good things not be expensive?

Although the families living in the east of the city are not as good as those in the west of the city, most of them are wealthy and they can afford rice.

In less than ten days, Yanji Xiaomi has never been cared about by anyone, and it has become unprecedentedly popular all of a sudden.Come and sell a batch, Weiji Mipu can't keep any goods.

Counting the boxes of copper coins, Mother Wei smiled from ear to ear.

She just said that it must be the best for her to have a daughter.Even if she doesn't have a son, so what, Wei Wei will make money if she marries a high official.She alone is more effective than having a dozen sons!

She personally took people to drive the carriage to the bank, and exchanged all the money into large-value bank notes.Seeing the more than 4000 taels after changing it out, she added a few hundred more taels to make up a bank note of 5000 taels.

She put the banknotes in an exquisite iron box. The iron sheet on the box was so thick that ordinary knives couldn't split it.There is an iron lock on it, and there are only two keys.One was with her, and she gave the other to Wei Wei.The next time she went to Liangzhou to write home, she brought the iron box along with her.

After finishing the work, Wei's mother took a break for a while, and suddenly felt a different kind of loss in her heart.Ah Mao is really amazing, she can earn so much money even after leaving the Hou Mansion.The daughter is like this, how can she, a mother, be left behind.

It just so happened that in the shop next to Weiji rice shop, the elders of the Dong family died, and as a great-grandson, he wanted to return to his hometown Ding You, and was anxious to sell the shop.After ordering some money at home, Wei's mother came directly to the door.Neighbors for many years, the shop has different businesses, and the two families get along very well.The owner has feelings for his shop and hopes to sell it to a suitable next owner.The two hit it off immediately, and Wei's mother got the shop at a very suitable price.

After getting it, she didn't rush to get through it, but planned it carefully.It just so happened that Ding Youde gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of Industry and participated in the planning when he had nothing to do.As soon as the decoration department of the Ministry of Industry made a move, the shelves and signboards were made to show their grandeur.After some tidying up, the store next door was transformed into a Yanji Xiaomi specialty store.

Of course, this is a later story. When she received Wei's mother's latest letter, Wei Wei was sitting in her new house in Liangzhou City, worrying.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, after a few days of recuperation, when her aches and pains had completely subsided, she even brought scholars from the Yan family to the Jiuquan government office, and within a few days they became familiar with Zhou Qianhu's compensation process afterwards, and they bid farewell to Uncle Chen and rushed to Liangzhou mansion.

Before coming to Liangzhou, Yan Heng had already quickly bought a new house.The house is not at all smaller than the one he bought with Chen Bo'an in Jiuquan City.Even better, the house is divided into two courtyards, the East and the West, connected by an arch in the middle.Close the arch, these are two completely isolated yards.

Without even thinking about it, Wei Wei ordered people to move the books of the Wei family into the west courtyard, and she and Yan Heng lived in the east courtyard.

Uncle Wei was a little bit sorry, but he was more aware of current affairs and knew that his family's wealth would not have survived for long in Jiuquan City if it hadn't been taken care of by his nephew.So he took the initiative to undertake the wording work of "Yan Ji Xiaomi".

Speaking of mentioning characters, this is an upgraded version of Wei Wei's new invention.A piece of red paper is pasted on the kraft paper bag, and the signboard of "Yan Ji Xiaomi" is written in the shape of "Tian" with a brush on the red paper, and then various auspicious words are marked on it.At first, she was worried that her handwriting, which was only considered dignified, would lower Xiaomi's prestige, but when Uncle Wei made a move, this problem was completely solved.

At that time, Wei Xiang stood out from the imperial examinations with his strong calligraphy. The reason why he was promoted so quickly was because the first emperor liked his calligraphy, and felt that his golden edict was extraordinarily honored by this beautiful calligraphy.At that time, although Wei Xiang was released many times, he could not stay in the local area for a few years. Once his term of office expired, he would be recalled to the capital to write an imperial edict.

Uncle Wei's handwriting is completely inherited from Wei Xiang. Although it is not as good as Wei Xiang's, it is very beautiful when he writes casually.

At this time, there was a large stack of written red paper in front of Wei Wei, looking at the words on it, Wei Wei was ashamed, and the same hook was written horizontally, the words written by someone were works of art.

"Gu Yu, you said that such a good word was pasted on the kraft paper bag we just pasted up, isn't it too wronged?"

Wei Wei said distressedly, Gu Yu glanced at the word, and then said uncertainly: "It seems... a bit."

"Gu Yu..." Wei Wei called out her name dejectedly.

"What are your orders, madam?"

"I..." is for you to comfort me.

Wei Wei really couldn't say such cheeky words, rubbing her temples, she asked: "I asked you to find a famous doctor in Liangzhou City, did you find out?"

Gu Yu frowned, with a puzzled look on his face: "It's a three-point drug, madam really want to do this?"

Wei Wei seldom hesitated, but she hesitated for several days, and she still hasn't made up her mind.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Yan Heng agreed to have a child later, she still felt very uncomfortable.Especially at night, but Yan Heng was out of breath, his eyes were already green, but he would rather take a cold shower than touch her.After coming down again and again, she became more and more moved and uncomfortable.

Wei Wei has always been a man with a clear distinction between grievances and resentments. People respect me a foot, and I respect others.Yan Heng was so considerate of her, but she concealed it and even misled him. In this way, she always felt that she couldn't pass the test in her heart.

After much deliberation, she could only make a compromise and find a doctor to prescribe some contraceptive pills.A few days ago, she was busy packing things after moving house, and finally put them back together, she finally freed up her hands to find a master in gynecology.

"There is no other way except this, but Gu Yu found out?"

Gu Yu bit her lip, seeing that her wife was determined, she still told the truth: "There are many good doctors in Liangzhou City, but they said that this pill is very harmful to the body."

"What pill?"

Yan Heng was dressed in a navy blue official robe, wearing a gauze crown Zen wing hat, and black blue soap boots. He stepped over the threshold and walked in with suspicion on his face.

"It's nothing."

Wei Wei pretended to be indifferent and said, looking at the iron box in his hand, the box looked familiar no matter how it looked.

"My mother sent something from the capital?"

Yan Heng handed over the iron box, and took out a letter from his pocket.

"This time there is not only the letter, but also this box. Looking at the pattern on the box, it seems to be something from the Wala people. It looks old. How could Ah Mao's family have this thing?"

Wei Wei was in embarrassment and couldn't wait to open the letter, she dealt with it indiscriminately: "My father should have brought it back."

Then she read the letter intently, mother Wei's letter seemed to be a little difficult every time.The reason is simple, the handwriting on it is really ugly.Originally a compact word, often with different strokes, it seems very difficult to even guess.But this time it was more difficult, the characters were not only ugly, but also belonged to not one person.

One is the ugliness of separated strokes, and the other is the ugliness of ink blobs.Obviously, Wei's mother's education level is not high, and Ah Yun's writing brush is not good enough.

Originally, Wei's mother had the condition to ask the poor scholar next to the Yuelao Temple to write it for her, but Wei Wei refused.Firstly, Mother Wei was interested in handwriting it for her, and secondly, seeing such handwriting, she could feel that Mother Wei was by her side.

In the beginning, the contents of the letter were very simple, and they were all trivial matters at home.For example, she likes to drink black chicken soup recently. The doctor in the capital said that this soup is very nourishing, and Mother Wei asked her to drink more; another example is which book Ah Yun learned, which day was praised by the Yishan layman.Bits and pieces of little things, but very warm to read.

After reading half of the little things, I started to talk about Xiaomi.The scene described by Wei's mother in the letter stunned Wei Wei. She thought that the price she set was very high, and even if it could be sold, the people would have to accept it slowly.Unexpectedly, there was a little deviation in the middle, and as proof of heaven, she wrote a letter to Shizi and cried a few words at the end, purely to ease the atmosphere and prevent Wu Shi from thinking too much.

Who knew he was so real!Directly take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to force a wave of Amway.

And the Liu family, how important is the Wufu Linmen color pot, and she actually used her millet.With such a great affection, what should she do?

Taking the key to open the iron box, Wei Wei's eyes became hot when he saw the 5000 tael silver note in the box.

"Aheng, they are all so kind to me, what should I do? And you, you are so kind to me. In fact, my health is not that bad, but I have seen many young girls give birth to children who either died young or were in poor health. Weak, I'm afraid."

Finally said it out, wiping away tears, Wei Mao was relieved for a while.

Yan Heng, who was going to comfort her, was a little shocked. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ah Mao was a little depressed, and even looked for doctors everywhere. So it was because of this reason?
Leaning next to her ear, he said softly, "Don't worry, Ah Mao, you don't need to take medicine. I just asked the doctor that as long as you don't stay inside in the end, there will be no children. As for them, we will have a chance to thank them later."
